    Explain this unfairness.

    If they only made fenders for a Coronet. That is more frustrating than the price. Lol

    If you're depending on zinc to protect your flat tappet?

    I think there are several factors present on cam failures. For the most part, if you loose one lifter or two, either right after break in, or after several thousand miles, but after the failure, the rest of the cam looks good, that is either soft metal or improper machining on those lobes that...

    If you're depending on zinc to protect your flat tappet?

    I think HR5 is pretty much as good as it gets in these old street driven engines with flat tappet cams. I once drained the oil on an engine that had a zddp additive in it, the zddp additive came out first, then the oil. Not exactly what you hope for with an zddp additive. Lol

    Every episode of the Dukes would be the same..the sheriff just goes down to arrest them while the general is charging up at the farm!

    If you're depending on zinc to protect your flat tappet?

    The zddp is suppose to reinforce the film thickness on the metal. If your driving your car too the point that the zddp is gone, you went way past your oil change, especially if that is for the cam break in. If your adding a zddp additive to your oil after the break in, sending the oil samples...

    Solid Axel or IRS?

    To check all the boxes properly for street, drag racing and road course type handling it needs to be AWD for that much HP. I would use a proven solid axle in the back and focus on powering the front axle thru a IFS set up like a rally car.

    Why A Mechanical and Electric Fuel Pump Together?

    Dang! Having something happen in an airplane thousands of feet off the ground is all kinds of scarry! On a car with a mechanical and electric pusher pump that you need the fuel pressure only for wide open bursts you can wire in a WOT switch. The electric pump rarely runs then, no worries...

    Why A Mechanical and Electric Fuel Pump Together?

    If it is already wired up I would absolute leave it and run both. Get a check valve system to bypass like the pic, add a electric switch to turn in off separately. Then you have a back up when the mechanical pump craps out, don’t have to run it if you don’t need it, but you can prime the engine...

    Why A Mechanical and Electric Fuel Pump Together?

    I have had great luck with systems like that. Carter sells a check valve set up that lets the mechanical pump bypass the electric pump when it is shut off. I run one. The mechanical pump will also pull thru some electric pumps with almost no restrictions with the electric pump shut off...

    Cam overlap speck

    The Engle’s grind would have (about) 8* more duration if you converted it’s seat specs from .008” to .006”. 9014 would run around 40* overlap at .006” tappet. For most the smaller Engle Mopar grinds add 52* to the .050” number gets you close to the more common .006” rating that most cam...

    Best Looking truck ever made.

    For new stuff the TRX is my favorite. But I always thought with the right trim the late 70s dodge was sure a contender. The 79 Dodge pickup in Simon and Simon was the star of the show!I thought it was a step up over the Fall Guy’s GMC for being cool. The Fall Guy GMC was a great looking...
